TEHILLAH MINiSTRY SCHOOL

Discipling and developing Spirit-filled leaders and creatives to influence all spheres of culture.

Purpose

Tehillah Ministry School is a discipleship program open to all who want to grow in Christ and desire hands-on ministry training. Here at Tehillah Ministry School we not only offer the academic side of post-secondary education through our partnership with Vanguard College, but we focus on developing our personal relationships with God and learning leadership skills that will last a lifetime.

First Assembly Church, the home of Tehillah Ministry School, has a deep heritage of raising up leaders. This is done through teaching and hands-on experience. Our vision is to raise up spirit-filled leaders and release them into the call that is on their lives. Developing intimacy with God is our greatest focus. We do this through a weekly schedule that prioritizes worship, prayer, and studying scripture. We also have leaders that take the time to invest into students individually.

Components

Tehillah Ministry School participants will have the opportunity to learn and grow through involvement in three main areas: tuesday night classes, internship programs at their local church or in a business, and Tehillah Monday gathering.

Classes

The classes offered will teach theologically sound doctrine. Participation in classes is a part of the Tehillah Ministry School program. Registration for individual classes is open to the public. If you would like to attend a class you can register independently for each subject course.

This track will focus on specific topics such as: intimacy with God, the character of God, effective communication, business and career ministry, spiritual gifts and their practice, and more.

internship

During the internship phase students will learn practical ministry skills and be developed by a leader. They will have placements in local churches and businesses. It will be the responsibility of the students to submit their requests for approval to the Tehillah Ministry School staff who will facilitate the options.

tehillah Monday gathering

Tehillah Monday is a passionate gathering of believers that have made a commitment to gather around the presence of God. We continue to grow deeper through friendship, prayer, worship and inspired teaching every Monday. Tehillah welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds from around the city to experience what God is doing in Calgary.
